Is it better to have a NAS VM or a simple NFS server for my media share for Plex Server in a Proxmox node?

I am trying to architecture a Plex Media Server inside a Proxmox node, in a very modest way. I know I can set up a NAS to server my files through the network or I could create a very simple NFS VM with NFS sharing capabilities and map the folder to be mounted on the Plex Media Server container directly.

There is a lot more effort setting up the NAS than a simple NFS server, so what would be more benefitial and why? Keep in mind I do want to keep the Plex Media server in a container, I don't want to host the Plex inside the NAS itself.

Thoughts?
